Sweet! I'm going to try the mid-length curlable topper in Pecan Delight. Hang onto your long one there please, Coco, maybe I can buy it from you as my hair gets longer. I have a naturally pointy head right where that mono top is, I bet I won't even need to flatten it, LOL! Thanks for your reviews, I love them. They're very helpful.
Thank you so much for your wonderful compliment, Bonnie!!! But I’m so happy that you’re enjoying my videos!!! Thanks for watching and being a part of my TH-cam community!!!
You are so precious! 💙 After 10 years of gathering 24 wigs, I just recently purchased my first topper. I just knew you would have a video to help me with it 🥰 I just finished watching Take 1 and, yes it was a bit small, so I appreciate Take 2 😁 I also am thankful that you mentioned the topper wig grip. I didn't know there was such a thing. I just went over to Amazon and purchased one. After 18 months of wearing only wigs, my bio hair has grown as long as yours, but I'm thinning quite a bit on top, thus thought I'd go Topper 😂 I'm looking forward to having this alternative to a wig when I'm just not wanting to wear one. I hope 2024 is off to a great start for you. Blessings from Carson City NV 😚
Thank you, Vivian!!!! You're going to LOVE wearing a topper in the summer!!! Do you ever put it up in a clip? It's so easy and looks so cute (it's my husband's favorite way for me to wear my hair!)!! And I love wearing braids or slim barrettes when I wear toppers, too. I find it's such a nice break from wigs and cooler in the summer especially! Have fun with your new discovery!!! Blessings from Hillsboro, OR!!! And thanks so much for watching! Hugs, Coco 🤗🤗
@@cocoshairsolutions Hi and thanks for your kind reply! 💖 I haven't played with the topper much yet, but I will definitely try all the up-dos you showed. Blessings, Viv 🥰
Hey there Coco (I think that is your name) ... I featured YOU in my review going live tonight! Thought you'd like to know. I LOVE what you did with the braid. Well Done my silver sister and fellow wig reviewer. Color 51 is a fav, but now I am all white so I wear both of them. I just found you today. Great review. I hope others will find you after seeing my review over on my channel.. You are very pretty. Estimate it should be up by 6:00 EST today 8.18.22
Hi Angela!!! I'm going to go find your video and I'll comment there!! Thank you so much for visiting my channel and especially for endorsing my work with a "shout-out" on your channel!!! Hugs!!! ~ Coco 🥰💗
I just sent for a paula young topper and I didn't really know how to use it so I'm thrilled with this video! Thank you so much Coco. The Toppers looks fabulous on you!
Thank you!!! Be sure to watch my other video on a topper, just in case you need to look at how I wear a topper grip band to keep it on--I go into a little more detail and a clearer view of how I put it on! You can see this video here: th-cam.com/video/jyxphaXahVg/w-d-xo.html Have fun!!! And thanks so much for watching and sharing!!! ~ Coco
Thank you so much for this review! I have a petite size head and having difficulty adjusting to a wig. Plus I don’t care for the amount of permatease in most wigs and don’t want to spend a lot of money. I have major thinning at the crown and widow peaks so I am going to try a topper. Love your reviews!
You are so welcome! A topper might be the best place to start if you're new at helper hair. Also, take advantage of looking at as many reviews of wigs that you're considering buying. That will give you a good idea of how much permatease you'll find in the wigs you're looking at. You'll probably do best to stick with "low density" wigs and/or mono top/lace front wigs & toppers because they tend to be lower density and zero permatease. Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Have a great week! Hugs, Coco
You are so welcome, Anneli!!! I LOVE 17/101!!! Don't be afraid to use a hot air brush on her to work with those bangs! She will keep that shape afterwards and you won't know how you ever managed without her!!! Thanks so much for watching!! Hugs and blessings to you! ~ Coco
You nailed it, Coco! 👏👏 Best topper review ever, you covered cap & clips thoroughly & up-close! Thanks for showing so many colors--- Especially color #44, it's not as dark as in the catalog. You mentioned moisturizing wigs after each wearing? Never heard that before-- 🤔 can you share?
Thanks so much!!! ❣❣❣The color 44 does look a little lighter in my video for some reason, as do the Pretty Pewter colors (#51--I mistakenly called them "Silver" which is incorrect). Topper fibers are just like wigs. But because they're longer and have more movement than many wigs, the fibers can suffer from friction frizz and dehydration much sooner than wigs (plus we're more likely to touch them and fuss with them, which can shorten the life of your fibers as well). So spraying a conditioner on them after wearing will help the fibers stay fresher longer and help keep your topper looking great much longer. Don't forget that even with doing this step, the conditioner can build up and make it necessary to wash your topper more frequently, too. I do this with all my longer wigs too. But I think they're worth it!!! Hey! I think I just found the topic of my next video!!! ❤❤❤
@@cocoshairsolutions Yes, conditioning after wearing would make a great follow-up video.👍 What kind of conditioner etc.. Also would like to hear you address shine. In my opinion, the whisperlite fibers, although soft & light, look like Barbie doll hair--- screaming fake, even after dry shampoo or washing. The worse was the Jaclyn Smith "Timeless ", which is such a cute style, but I returned immediately because it looked like costume hair, lol. Indoor light is "kind", but outdoor light is brutal!
One quick way I deal with shine is a quick, light application of spray dry shampoo. My favorite brand is Batiste and I have their brunette (brown) spray and a normal (spray). That way when I get a wig that has good fibers but a bit too much shine, I lightly spray the outer fibers and reduce the shine! But there are also wigs that absolutely FEEL like they are doll's hair and I return those without treatment. Thanks again for watching!!! Blessings to you!!!
Thank you so much for this great video. I've been wearing full wigs. You have lovely bio hair. I have white, extremely frizzy bio hair and have tried so many products to tame the frizz but still haven't found the solution. During the summer, I hate the heat of a full wig. I'm going to try one of these toppers based on your well explained review. Fingers crossed, I can find something to calm my frizzy bio hair. Thank you again for this great video!!
My bio hair can have a tendency to be a little frizzy too, so I have too flat-iron it a little to make it so the fibers blend. I also put a lot oof leave-in conditioner on it, too. That helps tame it some, but then by day 2 it's stringy and separating, so it doesn't look good with the topper past day 1 and I revert to wigs. But leaving all the conditioners on it under my wigs has really helped to be much healthier than ever before and that I like. I hope you have some success with the toppers. They really are a godsend in the heat of summers! Thanks so much or watching and sharing! Hugs! ~ Coco
Welcome to my channel, Julie! So glad to hear you're enjoying my videos! Let me know if you'd like to see any topic you'd like me to cover! Hugs! ~ Coco

Welcome to my channel April and Bella!!!! So glad my video was helpful for you!!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing!! Hugs and blessings to you both!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Coco, Thanks for replying to my question regarding your name. I will use Coco from now on as it relates to your You Tube channel. I was looking for a product on Amazon which would give my versa fibre topper some much needed shine as it seemed to be quite dull after several months. I ordered Bonfi Natural ‘Oil Free Wig Shine’ with UV Protector & Vitamin E. It came in three sizes and I chose the 4 oz. It is very nice and it goes a long way so best to use it sparingly. I lightly sprayed my topper and then combed it through. I’m very pleased and I can highly recommend this product. Cheers🥰
Thank you for sharing that information, Sandra!! There are lots of great products out there and it’s always good to know which ones have been testes and true! This spray sounds like it will also be good to use to help de-frizz your wig with heat or steam after the ends start to get stiff and prickly! Thanks again and blessings to you!! ❤️
Thank you for your time and sharing these toppers. I would like to add that (sadly) my hair continues to thin. I am finding the P.Y. toppers are becoming to heavy to hold or stay in place. I have found that Wig Pro has a smaller cap, wavy and easily stays in place and: its body blends wonderfully with my hair when I curl it. Cheers
Nice work explaining and showing the PAULA Young toppers. I am confused as I previously commented to you on other videos you’ve done and I thought your name was Sandie but in this video you stated your name is. Coco?? So which name is it? I really liked how you styled the topper in different looks at the end of this video. Great presentation🥰
Hi Sandra!!! I'm chuckling at your "So which name is it?"!!! My name is Sandie, but Coco is my nickname. I began making my videos using my legal name and then it just seemed a natural transition to be calling myself Coco. I'm so sorry for the confusion. But no matter what you call me, I'll be here! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video and comment!!! I appreciate you! 💗
I always enjoy your videos, you cover everything so well. I do have a question, I have one of those wig grips with the clear elastic and when I go to wear my hair up with my topper, it’s very obvious. How are you able to wear your hair up like that with nothing showing in the back from your wig grip? Right now I am using a Belle Tress 18 inch, but I’d like to try one of Paula Young’s-I wish they had a longer length!
Hi Chris! Are you talking about the clear elastic fish line type part of the wig grip band? That can be disguised by leaving part of your hair down when you put the wig grip band on. Please let me know if this is what you mean or if I’m missing the question. Bell trace has beautiful Toppers very much like Raquel Welch‘s. I have a Raquel Welch and I wear my hair up with it all the time and it works very well. But I do use the small topper wing grip to go with it. If it would be helpful I’d be happy to do a video chat with you and we can show each other what we’re talking about. Please let me know! Thank you so much for watching my video and for commenting! Blessings and hugs to you!❤️
@@cocoshairsolutions yes, the clear elastic fish line. I use the Velcro piece that they are now selling with it to keep it secured at the base of your nape and it’s black. It’s very obvious. It does not stay underneath my occipital bone unless I use that Velcro piece, and once I have it on, I can’t take it off because it’s stuck on there for life! I might buy a second one and see if I can use bobby pins or something to keep it in place rather than the Velcro. I have been playing around with my topper and have found that walker tape right on the edge of my hairline is working amazingly well, but I have yet to see how easy it is to get off of my bio hair! Thanks for all your help :-)
@@chrisboyd3626 before u buy another one, try playing around with loosening it a little bit. I had mine too tight when I first started using it.Let me know how that works! ❤️
I would recommend Brandywine Lusterizer or better yet, FiberSoft by Nova (my new favorite). You can get Brandywine Lusterizer in my Amazon store and you can get FiberSoft from me. If you're interested in the FiberSoft, email me at cocoshairsolutions@gmail.com. Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs, Coco 😊🤗
Hi Carmen!! Every brand of topper will have a different amount of hair on it, so some will provide better coverage than others. If you have shorter hair and need a topper then you would want to order the shorter one or have a longer one trimmed my your hairstylist. But if you’re looking for a topper to substitute for a wig (to give you the appearance of having longer hair), it’s probably not going to look quite right because there’s not enough hair on them to look realistic. Did I answer your question? Thanks so much for watching and sharing!! Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Coco, I have started to look at toppers and your video was so helpful as usual. I just love your videos. You tell it like it is and my face shape is like your....long. I do have one question, I have always been afraid to wear toppers because I think on a windy day the hair would fly up and then bam people could see the topper. Is that possible or is it just me? haha Please keep the video's coming. Maybe even more on all sizes of toppers. Thanks so much!!!!!
You are so welcome! As far as the wind flipping the hair up and revealing the topper, I have never had that happen! Toppers are meant to be brushed into and blended with your own bio hair, so if the wind were blowing strong enough, it would take ALL your hair up and then all you would see is your natural hairline along your neck! So I think you would be safe! And thank you so much for the video idea of additional topper comparisons!! I'll put that on my list!!! Thank you! And thanks so much for watching!!! Hugs, Coco 😊😊
Like so many other items, we only know for sure if we purchase it and try it on at home to find out. Good Luck! I hope it works for you! And Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs, Coco
Hi G.White! I would say that the Curlable Versafiber topper provides better coverage, but it doesn't really provide volume on top. To get that, you may have to try a different brand which provides a topper with permatease on top. Any topper with a mono top will not provide you with this, either. One brand of topper that does have permatease that I can think of right now is Godiva's Secret Wigs Tops and you can find them here: godivassecretwigs.com/collections/top-pieces Good luck and thank you so much for watching my video! Blessings to you!
Thank you for the info~I ordered the long topper- I'm going to order the topper grip~ do they automatically know I ordered from your video since I clicked on Paula's site from your video , I didn't see anywhere to leave your name when I ordered
No, I have no affiliation with PY, so you don't have to worry about letting them know about me! I hope your toppers work out well for you! Don't forget that you will need to work with her to make those bangs look better, as well as lift those fibers off the cap so that they look more natural (and change the part if you want). If you watch my video on the Brown Wavy Amazon wig from a week ago, you'll see how I do this. Good luck with her!!! And thanks so much for watching and sharing!! Hugs and blessings to you! ~ Coco
Another great video! I have one question please. When using the top grip band, since it lays on over your bio hair, isn't there a chance that when snapping the clips onto it that it could slide off backwards? Or are you actually snapping the clips onto it and capturing some of your bio hair underneath? I ask because there are little ribbons to snap the clips onto but I can't tell from the video if you're snapping onto the grip only or with some of your own hair. Also, you mentioned that the versa fiber can be curled, is it heat friendly? And could your curl to some extend the whisper lite with a warm curling brush? One more question please. You said the toppers measure 8" across, can you please measure from front to back for that measurement also? Thank you
Hi Mary! If you are wearing the top grip band correctly, the nap of the velveteen fabric will keep the band in place. You can then snap the clips onto the top grip band and the topper will not move! I like snapping those clips onto the grip band wherever they will connect with the band. Sometimes A little of my own bio hair will be included; it just depends on how large the topper is and where the clips are located. I find that the ribbons don’t always line up with the clips. Yes, VersaFiber wigs are heat-friendly and can be curled using a flat iron up to 350 degrees! The WhisperLite wigs are not heat-friendly but will tolerate a hot air brush up to 300 degrees. The isn’t enough to put much curl in a wig but it can smooth out box hair and lift bangs a bit! PY long curlable toppers measure 8”x8”. Other sizes and brands can measure as small as 4”x5” so you’ll have to be sure to read the description. Hope this helps!!! Hugs! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
No, it's a topper grip headband. Here's the link for finding it on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Milano-Collection-TopGrip-Toppers-PENDING/dp/B084HPMDP9/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=milano+top+grip&qid=1646937288&sr=8-2💗
Another fantastic review! Thank you so much. Do you have any suggestions for someone who has thinner but adequate hair in the front sides for the clips (and can use a topper grip like you did) but thin at the top back of the head? I had two "swirls" back there and struggle with attaching a topper in that area. I don't think I've seen anyone address ideas to attach a topper at the top/back of the head where my hair is the most thin. My toppers end up feeling like they are dangling back there unless I pull it all back and clip it in an updo.
Hi Julie!! Hmmm… if you can find a topper that has a much larger cap on it so that it extends downed onto the areas where you have more hair to clip it to, that might take care of that problem. But if you can’t find a larger cap topper when you’re experiencing this amount of hair loss, unfortunately that’s when you would graduate to a wig full-time. Toppers would still be good for updo’s tho! Hugs! ❤️❤️❤️
I don't have a specific video on how to sew up the wefts, just what I explained in this video. Would that be helpful? Thanks so much for watching and sharing!!! Hugs and blessings to you!!! ~ Coco
Hi Trish! I am sorry to say that it doesn't come in rooted colors. But if you want to put a root in your wig, it's not difficult to do. However, it's likely to end up being semi-permanent and will need re-doing sometime down the road. Thanks so much for watching and sharing! ~ Coco🥰
Hi again..do you hair have to have long bio hair to wear whisper lite long length topper? Or will that empty space look not natural and full..I cannot wear wigs..have you found them to be too shiny..remedy for that ..anything? Thank you luv..
Hi Linda! I think you might be able to get away with wearing the long topper if your bio hair is hitting your shoulders. It might be close enough and your shorter bio hair shouldn't be too noticeable. And of course, you can just let your bio hair continue to grow! Are you stuck on the WhisperLite line? I found the VersaFiber long topper to be a little more realistic, less shiny, and it lays nicer than the WhisperLite. You can also curl it if you want, too! I would order both, see which one you like better and return the other one. That way you'll know. Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs! ~ Coco
I just received the long topper after watching your review. I really like it but wish I had got it in the pecan delight as you show but instead got it in just the 8 base color. I'm thinking of exchanging it but want to know if you've had any Paula young wigs or toppers that you've exchanged for another color? I ask because I've read many reviews that the exchange is somewhat complicated in that they don't give you all your money back. Any help with this is appreciated :)
Hi Mary! First of all, I apologize for the tardy reply--had my son's wedding and a week camping with our daughter's family back-to-back and just got home yesterday. By all means, return it. I have returned many, many wigs/hairpieces and you just have to know that it will cost you shipping and take time. If you look at the back side of your receipt, you'll see a shipping label that you don't need to pay for. This will get your wig back to PY and you'll tell them what you want to do by filling out the additional information on the back side. PY will charge you a standard rate of $8.95 to return your wig. This will be deducted from the total of your refund/exchange. I hope this helps!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing!!! Hugs!! ~ Coco
OMG I'm glad i found this. I have a couple toppers. I was playing with them yesterday and it looked ridiculous. You've given me a new zest for trying.
Glad I could help! And thanks so much for watching! Hugs, Coco 🤗

I do have a question, I have one of those wig grips with the clear elastic and when I go to wear my hair up with my topper, it’s very obvious. How are you able to wear your hair up like that with nothing showing in the back from your wig grip? Right now I am using a Belle Tress 18 inch, but I’d like to try one of Paula Young’s-I wish they had a longer length!
Hi Chris! Are you talking about the clear elastic fish line type part of the wig grip band? That can be disguised by leaving part of your hair down when you put the wig grip band on. Please let me know if this is what you mean or if I’m missing the question. Bell trace has beautiful Toppers very much like Raquel Welch‘s. I have a Raquel Welch and I wear my hair up with it all the time and it works very well. But I do use the small topper wing grip to go with it. If it would be helpful I’d be happy to do a video chat with you and we can show each other what we’re talking about. Please let me know! Thank you so much for watching my video and for commenting! Blessings and hugs to you!❤️
@@cocoshairsolutions yes, the clear elastic fish line. I use the Velcro piece that they are now selling with it to keep it secured at the base of your nape and it’s black. It’s very obvious. It does not stay underneath my occipital bone unless I use that Velcro piece, and once I have it on, I can’t take it off because it’s stuck on there for life! I might buy a second one and see if I can use bobby pins or something to keep it in place rather than the Velcro. I have been playing around with my topper and have found that walker tape right on the edge of my hairline is working amazingly well, but I have yet to see how easy it is to get off of my bio hair! Thanks for all your help :-)
@@chrisboyd3626 before u buy another one, try playing around with loosening it a little bit. I had mine too tight when I first started using it.Let me know how that works! ❤️
What do you recommend to moisturize after each wear? Great video Coco!
I would recommend Brandywine Lusterizer or better yet, FiberSoft by Nova (my new favorite). You can get Brandywine Lusterizer in my Amazon store and you can get FiberSoft from me. If you're interested in the FiberSoft, email me at cocoshairsolutions@gmail.com. Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs, Coco 😊🤗
Really interesting! Loved this information and you looked really nice. Would the same length topper work for short hair? Thank you 🙏
Hi Carmen!! Every brand of topper will have a different amount of hair on it, so some will provide better coverage than others. If you have shorter hair and need a topper then you would want to order the shorter one or have a longer one trimmed my your hairstylist. But if you’re looking for a topper to substitute for a wig (to give you the appearance of having longer hair), it’s probably not going to look quite right because there’s not enough hair on them to look realistic. Did I answer your question? Thanks so much for watching and sharing!! Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
@@cocoshairsolutions yes, thank you very much. Blessings 🙏
Hi Coco, I have started to look at toppers and your video was so helpful as usual. I just love your videos. You tell it like it is and my face shape is like your....long. I do have one question, I have always been afraid to wear toppers because I think on a windy day the hair would fly up and then bam people could see the topper. Is that possible or is it just me? haha Please keep the video's coming. Maybe even more on all sizes of toppers. Thanks so much!!!!!
You are so welcome! As far as the wind flipping the hair up and revealing the topper, I have never had that happen! Toppers are meant to be brushed into and blended with your own bio hair, so if the wind were blowing strong enough, it would take ALL your hair up and then all you would see is your natural hairline along your neck! So I think you would be safe! And thank you so much for the video idea of additional topper comparisons!! I'll put that on my list!!! Thank you! And thanks so much for watching!!! Hugs, Coco 😊😊
I ordered the Milano band, but I don't have a lot of hope this topper was a good choice for me.
Like so many other items, we only know for sure if we purchase it and try it on at home to find out. Good Luck! I hope it works for you! And Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs, Coco
Which one of the toppers seem to last longer? And which one provides more volume on top do you feel? An especially awesome review ❤
Hi G.White! I would say that the Curlable Versafiber topper provides better coverage, but it doesn't really provide volume on top. To get that, you may have to try a different brand which provides a topper with permatease on top. Any topper with a mono top will not provide you with this, either. One brand of topper that does have permatease that I can think of right now is Godiva's Secret Wigs Tops and you can find them here: godivassecretwigs.com/collections/top-pieces Good luck and thank you so much for watching my video! Blessings to you!
@@cocoshairsolutions thank you so much!!!
Thank you for the info~I ordered the long topper- I'm going to order the topper grip~ do they automatically know I ordered from your video since I clicked on Paula's site from your video , I didn't see anywhere to leave your name when I ordered
No, I have no affiliation with PY, so you don't have to worry about letting them know about me! I hope your toppers work out well for you! Don't forget that you will need to work with her to make those bangs look better, as well as lift those fibers off the cap so that they look more natural (and change the part if you want). If you watch my video on the Brown Wavy Amazon wig from a week ago, you'll see how I do this. Good luck with her!!! And thanks so much for watching and sharing!! Hugs and blessings to you! ~ Coco
Another great video! I have one question please. When using the top grip band, since it lays on over your bio hair, isn't there a chance that when snapping the clips onto it that it could slide off backwards? Or are you actually snapping the clips onto it and capturing some of your bio hair underneath? I ask because there are little ribbons to snap the clips onto but I can't tell from the video if you're snapping onto the grip only or with some of your own hair. Also, you mentioned that the versa fiber can be curled, is it heat friendly? And could your curl to some extend the whisper lite with a warm curling brush? One more question please. You said the toppers measure 8" across, can you please measure from front to back for that measurement also? Thank you
Hi Mary! If you are wearing the top grip band correctly, the nap of the velveteen fabric will keep the band in place. You can then snap the clips onto the top grip band and the topper will not move! I like snapping those clips onto the grip band wherever they will connect with the band. Sometimes A little of my own bio hair will be included; it just depends on how large the topper is and where the clips are located. I find that the ribbons don’t always line up with the clips.
Yes, VersaFiber wigs are heat-friendly and can be curled using a flat iron up to 350 degrees! The WhisperLite wigs are not heat-friendly but will tolerate a hot air brush up to 300 degrees. The isn’t enough to put much curl in a wig but it can smooth out box hair and lift bangs a bit!
PY long curlable toppers measure 8”x8”. Other sizes and brands can measure as small as 4”x5” so you’ll have to be sure to read the description. Hope this helps!!! Hugs! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great question Mary ... I wondered the same thing.
Very in formative!!!
Thank you, Gail! I hope it was helpful and thanks so much for watching!! Blessings to you!
I've never have seen that thing you used under the hair pieces. Is that a PY item only? Loved the video.
No, it's a topper grip headband. Here's the link for finding it on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Milano-Collection-TopGrip-Toppers-PENDING/dp/B084HPMDP9/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=milano+top+grip&qid=1646937288&sr=8-2💗
thankyou soooo much for this video!!!!
You’re so very welcome, Rita!!! And thank you so much for watching!! Hugs and blessings to you! ❤️❤️❤️
Another fantastic review! Thank you so much. Do you have any suggestions for someone who has thinner but adequate hair in the front sides for the clips (and can use a topper grip like you did) but thin at the top back of the head? I had two "swirls" back there and struggle with attaching a topper in that area. I don't think I've seen anyone address ideas to attach a topper at the top/back of the head where my hair is the most thin. My toppers end up feeling like they are dangling back there unless I pull it all back and clip it in an updo.
Hi Julie!! Hmmm… if you can find a topper that has a much larger cap on it so that it extends downed onto the areas where you have more hair to clip it to, that might take care of that problem. But if you can’t find a larger cap topper when you’re experiencing this amount of hair loss, unfortunately that’s when you would graduate to a wig full-time. Toppers would still be good for updo’s tho! Hugs! ❤️❤️❤️
Do you have a video on how to sew the wefts, so that it does not pucker up?😢
I don't have a specific video on how to sew up the wefts, just what I explained in this video. Would that be helpful? Thanks so much for watching and sharing!!! Hugs and blessings to you!!! ~ Coco
Hi can you tell me if this topper comes in rooted?
Hi Trish! I am sorry to say that it doesn't come in rooted colors. But if you want to put a root in your wig, it's not difficult to do. However, it's likely to end up being semi-permanent and will need re-doing sometime down the road. Thanks so much for watching and sharing! ~ Coco🥰
Hi again..do you hair have to have long bio hair to wear whisper lite long length topper? Or will that empty space look not natural and full..I cannot wear wigs..have you found them to be too shiny..remedy for that ..anything? Thank you luv..
Hi Linda! I think you might be able to get away with wearing the long topper if your bio hair is hitting your shoulders. It might be close enough and your shorter bio hair shouldn't be too noticeable. And of course, you can just let your bio hair continue to grow!
Are you stuck on the WhisperLite line? I found the VersaFiber long topper to be a little more realistic, less shiny, and it lays nicer than the WhisperLite. You can also curl it if you want, too! I would order both, see which one you like better and return the other one. That way you'll know.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing! Hugs! ~ Coco
I just received the long topper after watching your review. I really like it but wish I had got it in the pecan delight as you show but instead got it in just the 8 base color. I'm thinking of exchanging it but want to know if you've had any Paula young wigs or toppers that you've exchanged for another color? I ask because I've read many reviews that the exchange is somewhat complicated in that they don't give you all your money back. Any help with this is appreciated :)
Hi Mary! First of all, I apologize for the tardy reply--had my son's wedding and a week camping with our daughter's family back-to-back and just got home yesterday.
By all means, return it. I have returned many, many wigs/hairpieces and you just have to know that it will cost you shipping and take time.
If you look at the back side of your receipt, you'll see a shipping label that you don't need to pay for. This will get your wig back to PY and you'll tell them what you want to do by filling out the additional information on the back side. PY will charge you a standard rate of $8.95 to return your wig. This will be deducted from the total of your refund/exchange. I hope this helps!!
Thank you so much for watching and sharing!!! Hugs!! ~ Coco
@@cocoshairsolutions Thank you coco, I definitely will exchange it. I've never dealt with this company so wasn't sure, but I am now :)
